The Athletics Department offers paid and volunteer internship opportunities in the following areas: Communications; Equipment; Events & Operations; and Marketing. Interns play an important role in helping us run our department. Our philosophy is to provide interns with hands-on experience that shows them what goes into running a Division I Athletics program. We also run an Intern Development Program, consisting of informal monthly breakfast or lunch meetings with athletics administrators and coaches, so you can get practical insights into careers in sports management and build your network.
WHAT WE OFFER: Paid interns are compensated at $15.00 per hour; volunteer internships are not paid. No benefits.
SCHEDULE: Start dates will typically be in late July or early August 2023. We ask that you commit to working for the duration of the internship. You will generally work 40 hours per week unless otherwise noted – if you work more than 40 hours per week, you will be paid overtime. Evening and weekend work will be required. Your schedule may vary to accommodate evening and weekend work. There may be times when you will work in extreme weather conditions (heat, cold, rain).
SPECIAL NOTE: You MUST be enrolled in a degree or certificate-granting program with an accredited college or university that will grant you academic credit for your internship (no particular amount of credit needed). Please do not apply if you cannot meet this requirement.
The Athletics Department has internships in various departments including but not limited to:
Communications
